The sea serpent question is settled.
Harry Ludlam and II. w. Hand, Jr.,
discovered the remains of one over at
Sewell's Point on Tuesday evening.
The creature isabout twelve feet long;
tapering from big head down to a
tail resembling an ee's. It's Body is
covered by a thick coat of bristles. In
the middle of the back is pointed fin
that must have stood well out of the
water when the creature was navigat-
ing it's surface. The monster looks
something like an alligator gar, but is
longer and more ferocious looking.
Any one can see a real sea serpent by
making trip to the Point.

BRDGETON, N ], THURSDAY NOVEMBER 10, 1887
DESERTED HIS WIFE.
&.
Arrested By a Detective.

Eor some time past, Nelson Callen-
der, sewing machine agent has been
in this city acting in the interest of a
Sewing Machine Company. He has
been very successful agent and is
well thought of by the company. He
is a man in the neighborhood of thirty
years old and married. 1t is being
married that has caused him all of this
trouble. The wife of Calender lives at
Rancocas, Burlington County, and she
charges that her husband for some
time since has failed to properly sup
port her and because of this war
rant was sworn out, and a detective
from Moorestown, arrived in this city
Friday and with the assistance of
Constable Ayars, picked up his man.
The name of the detective is Aaron
Burr, and he is special officer in Bur-
lington County. He stands fully six
feet high and looks like wirey indi-
vidual who would be apt to take his
man when he found him. When he
arrived in Bridgeton he hunted up
Constable Ayars, and together they
began the search. The agent has been
stopping at Hohenstatt's Hotel, and
shortly after noon the two officers of
the law stopped there. Calender was
out in the stable yard after his horse
when he was arrested. He took the
matter anything but gently. His ours
ings were loud and deep. He went
into Keen's segar store and demanded
hearing at once. He protested
against being locked up and the officer
decided to take him away with him.
The prisoner was taken to the Office
of the said Company until train time
when he with the two officers and a
PIONEER reporter got into Evans and
Johnson's omnibus and went up to the
train. On the way to the depot the
officer asked Constable Ayars:
s'Are the reporters down here pretty
fresh?''
sWell," replied the Constable, they
catch on to almost everything that is
going
N@'sWell, / don't want this matter to
get in the papers, and l wish you
wouldn't say a word" whispered the
officer.
'All right" replied the jolly Con-
stable, with a sly wink at the reporter,
II won't"
The reporter laughed to himself, and
of course he will comply with the Off
GERS request, and not say word.
Calender had seemingly gotten over
his hot spell and said he was sorry he
had spoken thus He said there was
no use in going with the officer for he
would do but one thing after he got
there, and that was to provide his wife
with home. He would never live
with her. The arrest made a great
deal of commotion and the detective
caused considerable awe among the
small boys by his stately presence.
The agent said he disliked the no
toriety which would follow, but was
coming directly back and meet it face
to face.

A pretty girl set up a boot-blacking
chair in Wall street, New York. She
was an alert creature of sixteen or SO,
dressed in jaunty neatness, and alto
gether an object to make the brokers
turn around for second look. But
her enterprise failed. No man had the
moral courage TO mount that chair and
submit his boots to the brushes of o
girl, and so she got no customers.
